STAY AWAY! Breached her Fiduciary Duty
As Plaintiff. Retained Stephanie to file for Annulment of Marriage. She talks me out of it, and file for improper Divorce Complaint instead. She never properly disclosed conflict of interest. She file for Divorce instead, offers Defendant improper Agreement without my knowledge. Kept corresponding wi...
Ben, we can agree to disagree with the facts as you have stated. Your file was not only overnighted to you nearly a year and a half ago but it was also electronically sent to you via email multiple times after I consulted with the Virginia State Bar regarding you. To my knowledge you have had 5 attorneys, 4 of which requested to be relieved as counsel just as I did. I wish you the best in resolving whatever your remaining issues are.

Unfiled bankruptcy
I went to see Ms. Montgomery to inquire about filing for bankruptcy. I paid all the fees in full and never filed. She stated it was just a click in order to be done filing. It was never filed.

Good Afternoon Shannon. You signed a retainer agreement on March 31, 2015. That agreement clearly detailed the procedures regarding retainers. Your entire petition was entered and we took creditor calls waiting on you to come in an finalize the process. My office called you on numerous occasions as is noted in the file. 3 years later when we do hear from you, your situation changed and you no longer qualified as you are well aware. There are few facts you left out in your posting that needed clarification. I wish you both the best.

High costs for what?
My husband and I paid for the consultation to be told that our case, we were looking for redetermination of custody for my husband's daughter from his first marriage, was basically hopeless and that we would be lucky to get visitation. We told her that we needed the entire cake and she told us she co...

Lacking in Customer Care and Empathy
Please, Please, Please.... Whatever you do, do not retain this Lawyer. The only thing worse then having Ms. Montgomery as an Attorney is having to deal with her Paralegal, Jesse. This team in unresponsive to phone calls, do not keep you informed, and I wouldn't trust them to feed my dogs. I h...

Also Rude
I had the very same experience with her. Would NEVER consider using someone who apparently is so arrogant she doesn't have time to listen - a vitally important skill for an attorney.
"I have worked with Stephanie on several guardianship cases where she served as guardian ad litem for the allegedly incapacitated individual. She is extremely professional and well-respected by the judges in our area. I love working with her."
